Error attempting to locate Jupyter: Running cells with (...) requires jupyter package.

See original GitHub issue

Environment data

  • VS Code version: 1.69.2
  • Jupyter Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2022.6.1201981810
  • Python Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2022.10.1
  • OS (Windows | Mac | Linux distro) and version: macOS Monterey (12.4 (21F79))
  • Python and/or Anaconda version: Python 3.10.5 / conda 4.13.0
  • Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): conda
  • Jupyter server running: Local

Expected behaviour

Jupyter installation in conda environment is recognized by vscode-jupyter.

Actual behaviour

VS Code does not recognize correctly installed Jupyter packages in conda environments. Jupyter Notebooks in the browser can be launched successfully from the activated environment. When attempting to run a notebook in VS Code, an error is thrown:

Any attempt to proceed by clicking “install” ends with:

info 12:59:11.118: 
# All requested packages already installed.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. install miniconda (M1)
  2. create a new virtual environment (python 3.9) and install jupyter
  3. install VS Code (M1)
  4. install the Jupyter extension
  5. select the conda environment as kernel

@avasyanin Your error is not the same as what @michaelweinold is seeing. Your system is failing to install because conda has not been initialized to support bash. If you create a conda terminal and then run conda init bash, it should fix our install.

The same issue with jupyter package. In my case it is conda environment (macOS Monterey 12.4 arm64, VSCode 1.69.2 arm64), but trying to install pip package also fails.

Catched exactly after VSCode update to the latest version.
